Hi Brian,
Being a refractorholic is the norm round here and you're to be commended for it. What is mildly worrying though is your shameless glove fetish. ?
Mike
OOPS !!! , busted ! .
But no these are our ( wife and I ) bike gloves , here in OZ your hands tend to sweat a bit and need a hanging in the fresh ait after a long ride .

Looks to me like the main centre bearing keeper has come loose slightly inside .
Just remove the plastic casings and you will get a better look , just be careful that all wires are either un-plugged or away from the cases as you remove them and same when reassembling , just take your time .
I dont have one of these but a friend does and its very sturdy .
Good luck , but I dont think it to major .

It might be the knobs are hard up against the housing ( body ) , try lossening the small allen head screws that hold the single knob off first and pull it back off the shaft 1/2 a mmm and retighten . If that does not make any differance try the same with first the 10 to 1 focus knob , if its still the same try the main knob on that side last .
It sounds like dry alloy against alloy ? . I would try the knobs first 1 at a time before going any deeper .
I say this because my GSO 10 to 1 focuser I have on my ED80 made the same noise from new , it had been dropped and one knob was binding slightly on the main body .It does not take much to sound this horrible .
Good luck .
Brian.
